Arkansas vs Mississippi is on ESPN. Baylor/Oklahoma coming up on the deuce. Three other games on ESPN3 of no import.

Army vs Notre Dame at the football field that can fit it is on NBC. Tom Hammond may have a new profile photo to replace the previous one:

What we do isn't pretty," Bielema said. "A lot of places, there's a certain emphasis on being pretty and being individualized on players."

That seemed to be a shot at Michigan, especially after Bielema was asked about Denard Robinson's 360-yard, four-TD performance.

"For them, that's great," Bielema said. "We would never recruit to that."

He's a talker, and he backed it up today. He runs up the score, and his teams play dirty - like illegally cut blocking a guy with a high ankle sprain - and then complaining to ESPN about "cheap shots."

And then taking a shot at the most team oriented player at a place that made "THE TEAM" famous, with a coach who stresses the team above all else. Unfortunately, all we can do is stew until we beat them. And the earliest that would be is the Big Ten Championship in 2011. And it will be sweet.

I thought they reserve the green for "big" games, like against top 5 teams at home. I guess since they're at Yankees' Stadium they're breaking it out

Rees was expecting Floyd to run a little shovel pass play, but he was about 5 yards behind a rolling-out Rees, who ended up getting flattened on the broken play.  So as Rees is laying on the ground, one ND O-lineman goes to help him up and Mike Floyd, standing right next to the guy, starts pointing his finger at Rees, clealry lecturing him about the play call.

I think Mike Floyd checked out sometime in February.

Watching USC getting beat by Oregon State. Barkley is playing fair. Which made me think of how he should be a redshift freshman back-up right now, poised to step in next year and perform at a high level. Carrol rushed him and the result is an underachieving USC by recent standards. Same for Pryor-by rushing him Tressel gave up some of the upside for Pryor and the program. Contrast with Mallett, whose forced redshirt because of the transfer made his current success possible. Patience is a virtue.

This isn't a knock against what we do - anything that wins games is what I want. But I've always found defensive games - where field position is huge, FGs are wins and not losses, and TDs are as special as home runs - as the most entertaining to watch.

With ND and UConn both winning tonight, in addition to UI beating Northwestern @Wrigley, three of the teams Michigan's defeated have become bowl-eligible.

Here's to beating #4 next weekend. GO BLUE!

explodes. He is pissed at those refs. I hope we get to see one of those classic coach explosions. I need a laugh after today and all these RR haters coming out of the woods after two wins.

Come on Bo, give us something good.
